Today in human geo we talked about cultural regions ( Beliefs, material traits, and social forms). The origin of the word culture is the latin cults which means to care for. To care about- to adore or worship something, as in the modern cult. To take care of-to nurse or look after something, as in the modern word culture. A cult is a special person that people like look up to. For example people looked up to a person and he said the world was going to end on a date and it did not and the people who look up to him were mad because they prepared and the world did not end. The difference between a religion and cult is a religion looks up to a higher being but they have similar beginnings. After we took notes we broke into groups and identified characteristics of regions.
Today in class we learned about site and situation. Site is character of a place. Examples of site is climate, water sources, topography, soil, vegetation, elevation. We talked about how Nebraska is just straight road with corn fields. Then how different it would be in Denver because it is mountains and people have to change things like how they drive because they are driving down hill. We also talked about how climate has to do a lot with an area like for example what kind of animals would live in that area. Mr. Schick also gave us a pop quiz.
